Six Flags had its parks in the U.S. and Mexico accredited as certified autism centers, which means the amusement park chain has taken steps to better accommodate people with autism.
has taken two big steps to make its parks more accessible to people with physical disabilities and autism, concluding years of effort by the amusement park chain and mirroring a broader movement toward accessibility in the entertainment industry.
Six Flags outfitted its rides at U.S. parks with specialized harnesses that allow people with physical disabilities to access them, the company announced last month. It took about five years and cost over $1 million to develop the harness and install it at all parks, Freeman said. The device will make it possible for people missing limbs or fingers and those who can’t fit in a traditional harness or brace themselves in the same way as others to be safely strapped in for rides.Six Flags parks began working to become certified autism centers in 2019, but delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic meant it took three years for all of them to earn the distinction.
